Calligraphy question

Hi girls, 2 questions here... TIA!

1) Do I bring just the envelopes only to the calligrapher?

2) When should I send out my invititations for a May 12th wedding? I was thinking last week in February?? My RSVP date is for April 7th.

TIA

The calligrapher only needs the envelopes, unless you want them to try and match one of the fonts on your invite...

as for sending them out, I did about 6-8 weeks before the RSVP date I think

I think etiquette calls for the invites to be mailed out 6-8wks prior to your wedding date;RSVP dates approx. a month prior to your wedding. However, this is not set in stone. If you have a lot of OOT folks coming in, then you'd probably want more time.

try not to give too m uch time for them to have the invites because sometimes it backfires in that guests don't remember the RSVP date or the wedding date.

I'm on the monthly plan -

wedding is march 24th

rsvp by february 24th

mail out on January 24th

easier for me to remember that way...and about right as far as timelines go...
